    Went here last night, one of my coworkers was craving fish. I'm always down for fish or beter said, Seafood. I had not heard of this establishment and I'm always game to try a new spot. So Crafty Crab it was. The menu looked mouth watering...but I picked the 1/2 lbs headless shrimp and the crab meat fries. The shrimps were amazing, and the fries were alright in my opinion. Next time I rather go for the full pound of shrimp or make a combination meal. Service was helpful in guiding us through the menu, and friendly. Overall a good experience at Crafty Crab, and I'll be back for some more seafood.

    Dine In, Bib Up, Glove Up, and Dig In! It's always a Super chill, laid back feel on Friday or Saturday. The locals and the tourists enjoy great seafood, wings and drinks. I love the huge bar and the DJ always sets the mood for the weekend baby!!! It's a pretty big restaurant so the wait time has never been an issue, which is always a plus. This Crafty Crab location is a for sure try, try, try!

    The restaurant was easy to find. It has a big parking area. The restaurant was larger inside than I thought. It's a good place for groups. They do karaoke here one day of the week. It's nice inside. It is colorful and beachy inside. With many crabs all around. The menu was pretty good. I chose to build my own plate. Which means I choose the amount of heat and what I like. I was happy with my meal. They didn't have the instrument to crush the crabs. They gave me scissors and told me to use the handle. That didn't work for me. The staff was great. I found the customer service very good. We did not have to wait long for the food.

    This place is an absolute 10 out of 10, I specifically like going to this location because it's not as super busy, the servers are always checking on you, seafood boils are DELICIOUS and truly worth the price!

    First time here for lunch with my husband. CC opened about one month ago. We were greeted by a sweet hostess who took us a nice booth. Server came right over with two ice waters. Friendly and asked if we needed help or suggestions, nice! We said we're good, just going to look over the menu. Beautiful, casual, large restaurant, a big bar with the largest TV I've ever seen! Husband had the shrimp boil and I had the one lobster tail boil with potatoes. All delicious. It was two o'clock and quiet ,I'm sure it picks up for dinner, and season is coming! My couple of suggestions... Offer butter with zero garlic. Offer a chilled shrimp cocktail and shrimp that's been peeled, oh and unsweetened iced tea! We enjoyed very much and five minutes from our house, yay!

    Good food very happy with our visit. The cosmopolitans are delicious. Never had one before so for my first time trying a cosmo it was pretty good and the boil was even better, that lobster tail was everything we ordered the boom seasoning.

    First time here and it was above my expectations. We ordered a large bag of shrimp and three different types of crab, corn and potatoes were included. This was our first southern crab boil. The crab was sweet and succulent, and the shrimp were large and plentiful. We ordered one dish for under $50 and it was a lot of food but we finished every bite. The sauce was spicy but not hot, with tons of flavor! It was good. Ambiance and service were fine.

    South Kitchen & Bar is truly one of Pompano Beach's best hidden gems! If you love New Orleans…read morecuisine with a delicious Caribbean flair, this is a must-visit. We enjoyed Sunday brunch on the beautiful outdoor patio with our little dog, and despite the Florida heat and humidity, we were perfectly comfortable beneath the shade of the magnificent tree. It created such a charming and relaxing atmosphere. The Unlimited Brunch absolutely lives up to the rave reviews. The value is incredible, and the food just keeps coming! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, but our two favorites were the Gouda Shrimp & Grits and the Sweet Potato Waffle--both were pure decadence on a plate. We also loved the flaky biscuits, the sweet roll, the deviled eggs...and that's just the beginning. There were so many wonderful dishes to sample that every dish brought to the table was another delicious surprise. From the creative, flavorful cuisine to the attentive, friendly service, every aspect of our visit was exceptional. South Kitchen & Bar delivered a brunch experience we'll be talking about for a long time, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

    I recently visited South Bar & Kitchen for their Old School Saturday Supper event, and while the…read moreatmosphere had its highlights, the overall dining experience left me wanting more. The restaurant is located in Pompano Beach with both street parking and several nearby parking lots, which made parking fairly easy. That said, the surrounding area felt a little sketchy, and as a woman, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable walking around alone at night. The restaurant itself is cute, casual, and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The event was held outside, where DJs kept the crowd entertained with a great mix of hip-hop, R&B, and old-school classics. The music was definitely one of the highlights of the night. Because the humidity was unbearable, even after the sun went down, I chose to sit inside for dinner before heading out to enjoy the event. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great. I understand they were likely busier than usual because of the event, but our waiter wasn't very attentive. He told us to flag him down if we needed anything, which isn't exactly what you expect when dining out. Our drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, and although we were told the bar was backed up, they ended up tasting mostly like juice with very little alcohol. For appetizers, we ordered the crab beignets. They were just okay, but the mustard dipping sauce was actually really delicious and probably my favorite part of the dish. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and I had the shrimp Caesar salad. The salad came with much more dressing than I prefer, making it a bit overwhelming. My friend thought her sandwich was decent, but unfortunately it didn't sit well with her stomach the following day. After dinner, we headed outside to enjoy the party. The outdoor deck is built around a beautiful tree and offers plenty of seating, along with a separate outdoor bar, which created a fun atmosphere. One thing that stood out, though, was how slippery the deck was. At first I thought it might have been my shoes, but after hearing several other people mention the same thing, it seemed like I wasn't the only one who noticed. Overall, the entertainment and outdoor atmosphere were enjoyable, but I wouldn't return for dinner. The menu is fairly limited, and with fewer options, I expected each dish to really stand out. Unfortunately, the food and service just didn't live up to those expectations. If you're looking for good music and a fun Saturday night vibe, the event is worth checking out, but I wouldn't go for the dining experience alone.

I love fish and eat it several times a week and so when I find a fish restaurant that serves exceptional seafood I just can't help but offer a high recommendation in this one really is at the top of their game. And I have to say that their lunch prices and portions are an incredible value for such wonderful food. And if the food isn't enough to make, you want to come here over and over again, the welcoming and sincerity of the service will definitely win you over. From the person that greets you at the door to the wait staff to the people that clear the tables every member of the staff makes you feel like you are their most valued guest. I really love this place and we will be back to try more things from the menu. Today I had a tripletail. I am not sure that I've ever seen it in restaurant before having previously only eaten it when I caught it. And that was many years ago. But it is without any doubt, one of my favorite fish to eat. Absolutely delicious and they're simple preparation brought out the flavor even more. I had it with a salad that was so fresh and complemented the fish perfectly. All in all, I love the restaurant and will be back. As I said, I would love to try the other things on the menu, but if Tripletail is on there that day, I am likely to order it again. One thing, especially nice was that we were really here to enjoy the company of family that we'd not seen in a long time. We took up the table for almost 3 hours. They refilled my iced tea regularly and continue to serve us and even with the long time spent there we felt completely welcome. Kudos to them for such amazing service. If you were in the Pompano Beach area and love to eat fish, this is a place you do not want to miss.

    Massive Feast! Epic Crab Legs & Flawless Fried Catfish ​We…read morerolled into Catfish Dewey's with a big party of 10, and this place absolutely knocked it out of the park! We specifically chose it because the wife loves crab legs, and they run an incredible All-You-Can-Eat special on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ​As you can see from my photo more than half of our table went all-in on the AYCE crab legs, and it was a glorious, buttery battlefield. The kitchen kept the supply coming--served up in big metal tins, consistently warm, perfectly cooked, and accompanied by absolute pools of melted butter for dipping. The quality and pace for an all-you-can-eat setup were top-notch. The wife was in seafood heaven! ​Now, with a name like Catfish Dewey's, you know I couldn't leave without testing the namesake dish. I ordered the catfish, and it was a total home run. It came out piping hot, with a perfectly seasoned, ultra-crispy golden crust while staying incredibly flaky and tender on the inside. ​ The Hidden Gem Bonus: They start you off with complimentary hush puppies served with butter. Let me tell you, these things are dangerous! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect sweet-and-savory bite to kick off a massive meal. ​Whether you're feeding a massive crew, chasing a killer seafood special, or just want some of the best fried fish in town, Catfish Dewey's is the real deal. Incredible food, great energy, and we left completely stuffed. Highly recommend! ​Where is the next stop on the Fort Lauderdale food tour? Hit me with the details!

The dining room is very large and plain and not at all fancy. Our server was polite but she forgot to order my appetizer and didn't provide the separate checks that we requested. We all had versions of the all-you-can-eat scallops. And we never got a second plate because the first one was filled with about a dozen or more large ones. And no matter what special you get, you are allowed some catfish with it. So, of course, we each had a fillet. It was the best part of the meal. While the scallops were decent, we were not fans because they were fried, and a bit dry. The fried catfish was crunchy but flavorful. As to the sides, the cole slaw is good. The collard greens were average. The baked sweet potato was very mushy, and the French fries needed to be crisper. The hush puppies were addictive. If you like large or plentiful portions, add a star, because your belly will surely be full. I couldn't finish my scallops or the extra piece of catfish that I had requested. And you're not allowed any doggie bags with the all-you-can-eat offers. We certainly didn't have room to try any desserts. Two entrees at $35.99 each, one alcoholic drink, tax, and tip was $115.

Tables come ready with disposable paper, bibs, and gloves, making it easy to dive into some messy, delicious seafood. The staff are attentive, service is prompt, and parking is convenient. I started with their mango margarita, a refreshing kickoff to the meal. They also have a full bar if you want something different. For appetizers, I tried the lobster bisque and crab cakes. The crab cakes were my favorite: light, crispy on the outside, packed with fresh crab, and free of heavy flour or doughy textures. Simple and straight-up delicious. The lobster bisque had a flavorful, well-seasoned broth, though it was a little light and I would have loved some chunks of lobster to add texture. Ordering is straightforward: select your sauce/seasoning, spice level, and seafood. I went for the Chef's Pick - Crabfam Classic Seafood Boil, which includes 1/2 pound each of snow crab, shrimp, and sausage, served with two sweet corn cobs and two tender potatoes. I chose the Mr. & Mrs. Crab seasoning, a blend of Cajun spice, lemon pepper, garlic butter, and plain garlic. It had the right kick from the Cajun, the zing of lemon pepper, and just enough garlic to tie it all together. The corn was juicy and sweet, the potatoes tender, and all the flavors balanced beautifully. If you're craving fresh, flavorful seafood in a laid-back setting, Mr. & Mrs. Crab Seafood is definitely worth a visit. Extras: Daily specials, lunch specials, and happy hour deals make it even more inviting. Happy Hour runs Sunday-Thursday, with $2 drafts, $3 house wine, and $4 house cocktails (open-5pm & 8:30pm-close). Lunch specials are Monday-Friday, 12pm-3pm.
